Holding
The contempt application was dismissed as the order had been complied with, leaving no basis for contempt.
Summary
Dr. Jhangerhwar Nath Pandey filed an application for initiation of contempt proceedings against the State of Bihar and several officials of Magadh University, alleging willful disobedience of an order dated 12‑03‑2018 issued by Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah in CWJC No.4765/17. The petitioner claimed the respondents deliberately ignored the earlier judgment. Both parties appeared before the Patna High Court and agreed that the order had been complied with. The Court examined whether the alleged non‑compliance amounted to contempt. Finding that the order was indeed complied with, the Court held that there was no ground for contempt. Consequently, the contempt application (MJC No.4277 of 2018) was disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether the respondents committed contempt of court by willfully disobeying the order dated 12‑03‑2018?
